With the risk of sounding a cheapskate....

Does anyone know the CHEAPEST place for gear. Ive seen ghostbikes.. anyone know any others?

Sorry ofr being tight, its just i though 'some' gear is better than jeans and normal jacket until i can afford decent stuff.

THanks, Andy

have a look at buffalo stuff, i got some textile pants for 35 notes from the suzuki dealer...proper knox protection in them as well

best thing is to shop around, do a google search for cheap motorcycle gear

Been looking at this stuff recently, and have to agree. Looks great and never heard anything really too bad said against it.

One thing though mate. Don't look for the cheapest. Look for the most expensive you can afford. The more you spend on gear the better!!

Cheapskate!!

i kinda agree but once you get to a certain point its all about labels tbh. I have seen some shocking quality on Dainese stuff, we had to send several suits back because the stitching had come apart...they were new and in the packets

ive always found if you buy cheap you buy twice so it really is a false economy

gotta trawl the web I am afraid, thats my experience!

Im also liking the akito gear, but how do you go about ordering them and finding the prices?

Thanks, andy.

Being a hardcore cheapskate I managed to get a set of Frank Thomas racing leathers from ebay for £35 (they retail for about £300)! Okay they took some searching for and they make me look like a power ranger (they're a bit 'retro' - white with red and blue diagonals), but they are much more armoured, and therefore safer, than the textiles I bought when I started biking that were more than four times the price.

You'd be amazed how many sets of really good leathers get bought by people who don't use them much, put on a bit of weight and then offload them for buttons. ( - you could just put down the cake!!)

And I'm going to spend the money I saved on a better skid lid, which is the one body part I won't cheapskate on.
